EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the Plain Tawny Rajah Butterfly (Charaxes psaphon, formerly known as Nymphalis bernardus) gracefully perched on a vibrant camellia flower. The image is taken from Edward Donovan's An Epitome of the Natural History of the Insects of China, published in 1800, and later included in Carl Hoffmann's Das Buch der Welt (The Book of the World) in 1849. The Plain Tawny Rajah Butterfly is a large and striking species native to Southeast Asia. The male butterfly is characterized by its orange-brown wings with black markings, while the female has a more muted coloration. The butterfly is named for its resemblance to the Rajahs, or kings, of Southeast Asia due to its regal appearance. The camellia flower, a popular ornamental plant, provides a beautiful and fitting backdrop for the butterfly. Camellias are native to East Asia and are known for their showy, often fragrant, flowers. The combination of the Plain Tawny Rajah Butterfly and the camellia flower creates a stunning visual display of nature's beauty. This illustration is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of natural history illustration during the 19th century. The handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing out the intricate patterns and textures of both the butterfly and the flower. The illustration also serves as an educational tool, providing a detailed and accurate record of the Plain Tawny Rajah Butterfly and its habitat. Overall, this image is a captivating representation of the natural world and the beauty that can be found in even the smallest of creatures. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
